Palestinian PM: we will not run Gaza without solution for West Bank

Exclusive: Mohammad Shtayyeh calls for a comprehensive, peaceful vision' and ceasefire in Gaza

The Palestinian Authority will not return to governing Gaza after the Israel-Hamas conflict without a comprehensive agreement that includes the West Bank in a Palestinian state, the authority's prime minister has said.

Israeli civilian and military officials have said their plan for the end of the Gaza war is to have some form of transitional authority rule the territory, perhaps involving Arab states, leading to the restoration of the Palestinian Authority (PA), which was ousted from Gaza in a 2007 Hamas coup.
